Jun 19, 2012 at 23:02 comment added Steeven Then this would be correct usage: "Attachment: Source code files in zip container"? If I want to make a header from it.
Jun 19, 2012 at 23:01 comment added AndyPerfect It's probably better to just keep it simple then. If you're handing in the actual code, refer to it as something like "see attached source" or "see attached source code". If it's an actual executable/binary or something like that, "see attached program/software". Keeping it simple will most likely be easiest for your readers.
Jun 19, 2012 at 22:57 comment added Steeven Okay. I would like a fitting word for it on the front page of a paper where the files are handed in electronically in a zip-file along with it. Just to emphasise that there are "attachments" belonging to the paper.
Jun 19, 2012 at 22:53 comment added AndyPerfect There may be a term for it, but I have never seen one used nor had need to use one.
Jun 19, 2012 at 22:52 comment added Steeven So, whouldn't there be just one term to describe such a bunch of files? An equivalent to enclosure or attachment?
Jun 19, 2012 at 22:50 comment added AndyPerfect As a software developer, I have never heard the term, "enclosure" used in any manner relating to software or bundling of software with documentation. I'd just refer to it as the actual software or the documentation.
